Philosophical Criminology

Philosophical criminology asks big questions about how we get along with one another and what happens when we do not, and this installment in Policy’s New Horizons in Criminology series is the first book to foreground this emerging field. Structured around six core philosophical ideas concerning our relationships with others—values, morality, aesthetics, order, rules, and respect—Philosophical Criminology builds upon Andrew Millie’s past work with value judgments, aesthetics, and respect to consider the shifting boundaries of criminology. Using international examples, Millie provides a theoretical underpinning and philosophical platform for engaging with important, topical issues that range from crime as a legally defined concept to the criminology of social and environmental harm.
